Slightly better than Pestilence.

Pestilence was boring and certainly hated it to kill people. War is pretty much Ares (or is Ares like War? who knows) as both enjoy battle, killing, bloodlust etc. War has zero issues with the fact that his men would rape women in the war camp until it would’ve happened to Sara. (All these rape/sexual assault mentions really tell me that I would just kill myself if we have to live through an apocalypse.)

The ending is so … ugh, stereotypical? It’s an happy ending but so predictable.

I hope that Death will live up to his two scenes because he’s an ass in both.

Concerning the world state: Pestilence went through the USA and Canada with parts of Mexico. War took Asia (from Vietnam starting), the Middle East and Egypt/Sudan. I suppose that one book will play in Europe then. South America and Africa (aside Egypt & Sudan) are still possibilities but somehow I doubt that one of the remaining books will play there.
